As with any hotly anticipated item, rumours regarding the successor to Samsung's hugely popular Galaxy S II handset have been swirling unchecked around the net with wild abandon.

The latest report, published by Digitimes, claims that the Galaxy S III will have an ultra-high definition screen, capable of rivaling the crystal clear images produced by the iPhone 4's Retina display.

According to the article, Samsung has come up with an AMOLED screen that contains 319 pixels per inch (ppi), a serious contender to the iPhone 4's 326 ppi count.

As for the rest of the handset, the Galaxy S III is expected to have a quad-core CPU, a 4.6 inch edge-to-edge display, and a 12 megapixel camera.

Among the cutting-edge features that Apple's marketing team trumpeted to flog the new iPad was the device's super-high speed 4G LTE support.

However, the high speed internet service's limited global reach has prompted an Australian customer rights group to cry foul play, given the fact that anyone outside North America or Canada will be unable to use the service.

Apple has responded by offering any unhappy Aussie customers a full refund, a result that has prompted other consumer groups - including some in the UK -to consider taking similar action.

There may be more howls of discontent next year, however, when customers realise that their new iPad's don't support the LTE band that British 4G networks are planning to use. You have been warned.

The developers of Instagram are offering to put Google customers in the picture directly regarding the Android launch date of their popular image processing app.

Mobile snappers eager to put a fauxlaroid spin on their pictures can sign-up to be notified the instant the app lands on the Google Play Store, allowing them to be the first Android customers to sample the app's tint-tastic features.
